He writes: "Klopp's team got away with it, big time. But they have to be given credit for holding on after going a goal down to Joe Ledley's drive, and then seeing James Milner sent off for two yellow cards. Yes, they were lucky, but Philippe Coutinho made a difference when Klopp threw him on, and they did refuse to give in. Suddenly fourth place, six points away, does not seem such a mirage.

"But had the hapless McCarthy, in for the injured Wayne Henessey, not handed them that equaliser with his catastrophic blunder, at a time when it looked as if Liverpool could have played all day and not scored, things would surely have ended very differently."

Steve Tongue , of The Independent , says the manner of Liverpool's winning goal left a bad taste.

He said: "Rightly sensing that Palace would be nervous hanging on to their lead for a first league victory since mid-December, the visitors went for the jugular, benefiting from a howler by recalled goalkeeper Alex McCarthy 10 minutes after Milner’s red card. It was just the manner of the winning goal that left a bad taste.

"Palace, sliding from fifth place at the turn of the year to 15th, must feel most things are going against them, although they are not helping themselves. Denied that long overdue victory by Sunderland’s late equalising goal in midweek, they never looked like the side with the extra man."

He writes: "Jürgen Klopp, whose first Premier League loss had been suffered to these opponents back in November, can point to this win as evidence of proper progress given how Palace have haunted those from Merseyside in recent times. They have snuffed out title challenges and even gatecrashed Steven Gerrard’s final hurrah, and the last three top-flight games had gone the way of the club from south London. Yet the manner in which the visitors responded to losing Milner, penalised for fouls on Yohan Cabaye and Wilfried Zaha, was admirable. Klopp spoke of passion taking over. It eclipsed anything Palace could offer."

He writes: "The most significant physical contribution at Selhurst Park was that provided by Damian Delaney’s knee. In the last seconds of a game Liverpool had shown little inclination to win, the slightest of touches from the Palace defender sent the substitute Christian Benteke hurtling dramatically to the turf. Initially the referee Andre Marriner awarded a goalkick.

"But after intervention from Scott Ledger, his assistant, he changed his opinion to a penalty. The Belgian picked himself up and rolled the ball into the corner of Alex McCarthy’s net, sending Jurgen Klopp on the touchline into a frenzy of exuberant celebration. And no wonder he looked pleased: this was three points it would have been absurd to imagine half an hour before."

The Daily Mirror'sAdrian Kajumba says that Christian Benteke's late heroics could have "breathed new life" into the Belgian's Anfield career.

He writes: "The £32million striker bought to fire Liverpool to glory had been struggling so badly he had been reduced to being one of the Premier League’s most expensive subs.

"Having failed to convince Jurgen Klopp he could fit into the German’s plans or even score in 2016, he started on the bench for the sixth game running and things were looking a bit bleak for the big Belgian striker.

"But he capped a dramatic fightback by 10-man Liverpool to end his 13-game goal drought and breathe new life not just into the Reds bid for European football but possibly his Anfield career too."

Neil Atkinson , of The Anfield Wrap , praises both Emre Can and Dejan Lovren - as well as the grafting nature of Liverpool's performance

He writes: "The performance of both Emre Can and Dejan Lovren before and after the red card are worthy of praise. Can was Liverpool’s best midfielder throughout and then dropped in and dictated from centre half. Lovren won everything that came near him. An outstanding performance, one he has been threatening to give. He had no interest in not winning.

"Liverpool’s grafters grafted. Lack of guile as ever a problem but you earn the right to show guile at Selhurst Park. They don’t put it on a plate for you.
